Strongest Solar Flare of 2025 (X5.1) Triggers Radio Blackouts; NOAA Confirms G4 Geomagnetic Storm

Severe ‘Cannibal’ Solar Storm Hits Earth Today (12 November 2025): NOAA Confirms G4 Levels, ESA Warns of Third CME; UK on Highest Alert and NASA Delays Launch

A G4 “severe” geomagnetic storm hit Earth early Wednesday, disrupting radio and GPS and triggering widespread auroras, NOAA confirmed. The UK raised its alert to the highest level, warning of the biggest solar storm in over 20 years. ESA reports a third coronal mass ejection may arrive late tonight, possibly prolonging disruptions. Ground effects in Britain reached record highs since BGS measurements began in 2012.

NASA Confirms Earth’s “Secret Second Moon” – Tiny Asteroid 2025 PN7 Will Orbit with Us Until 2083

NASA Confirms Earth’s “Secret Second Moon” – Tiny Asteroid 2025 PN7 Will Orbit with Us Until 2083

Astronomers have identified asteroid 2025 PN7, a 19-meter object, co-orbiting Earth in a synchronized path since the 1960s. Discovered by Pan-STARRS on Aug. 2, 2025, PN7 will remain near Earth for about 60 more years but never comes closer than 4 million km. NASA confirms it is not a true moon but a “quasi-moon” orbiting the Sun. Scientists say it poses no collision risk.
